[MISIA’s Iconic Songs] Popular Tracks by the Powerful Singer with a 5-Octave Vocal Range

MISIA – I Love You (Official Music Video)

Here, I’d like to introduce a song that’s quite different from the image many people have of MISIA.

“Suitotto” is like a local tune that makes generous use of the dialect from Nagasaki, her home prefecture.

It’s a song about love for someone dear, but as you can tell from the feel of the title, it’s arranged with an overall pop and comical tone.

Since it has few high notes and not many long sustained tones, even those who aren’t confident singers should find this one easy to sing.

My feelings fall in fluttering dropsMISIA

[Cover] “Feelings Flutter Down” by MISIA

This is a digital-only single by MISIA, released for streaming on April 28, 2021.

It was chosen as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film “Hinokaru Soul: The Heroes Behind the Scenes.” MISIA is widely acclaimed for her vocal prowess, and that formidable ability is on full display in this track as well.

Even when focusing on the theme of this article—high notes (high-tone voice)—she delivers a masterful performance, skillfully switching between powerful highs using chest to mixed voice and gentle high tones using falsetto, expressing the song with remarkable finesse.

Thank you for your love.MISIA

Thank you for your love.

With a rich voice spanning five octaves, MISIA is a beloved singer who stands as one of Asia’s leading divas, including in Japan.

Her 55th digital-only single, “Ai wo Arigatou” (“Thank You for the Love”), was written specifically for the 60th anniversary commercial of Koikeya Potato Chips.

The lyrics, which express gratitude for unconditional love, may prompt listeners to recall the people who are precious to them.

Centered on piano, acoustic guitar, and strings, this gentle ensemble shapes a heartfelt ballad that feels wonderfully comforting.

MISIA – Galaxy (Official Music Video)

If you’re interested in grand, fantastical pieces, we recommend “Galaxy.” As the title suggests, it’s a space-themed track, and both the melody and vocal lines are crafted to feel truly majestic.

Because of that, a certain level of vocal ability is required; however, compared to full-fledged R&B or soul, there’s less ad-libbing and no highly advanced vocal techniques, so it should be relatively easy to sing for those with solid basic vocal skills.
